I've searched for days, i thought i found what i needed, whent he shit arrived from jegs, all 3 were the wrong size.


I'm running a b20v, you all know this.
I have a greddy sandwich plate, i'm looking for the size i need to go, on the bigger hole.

Its the same size as the GE one.. except greddy has two smaller holes and one big one.. I need the size for the big one.
Does anyone fucken know this size?

K, for the love of Jesus Christ

The port size / bolt size is a m12 port.

Greddy is all in bspt and metric shit..

I have a -6 an line, with a fitting for my head already, i'm looking for a m12 to -6an.. Anyone have any help in this direction, i feel fucken stupid but i'm beating my head in cause i can't find the correct fitting and i have like 20 here from jegs already.

BST and NPT are somewhat compatible. For example, 1/8" NPT screws into the metric oil pressure switch on Honda blocks.

I agree that it's possible to thread in, and I respectfully disagree that it's a good idea. If you measure the pitch difference, you get 3.3 threads before it has to skip/cross/mangle a thread... The diameters are perfect, the pitch is not acceptable for a critical component IMO. Getting the correct fitting, or drilling and re-tapping the block to an NPT size FTW. Oil pressure is something you want right. It's pretty much like a heart attack for an engine when oil pressure is effected by something.

Just my $0.02

1. In a conduit app, it works. In a plug app, I agree with LFP.

2. Avoid adapters where possible. You're introducing extra potential leak/failure points. To illustrate the point, would you want to have a 3 ft hose made of three 1 ft sections connected together?

3. Get GE or Endyn sandwich. Greddy is another lame company I don't respect. Their mission statemen is "We are suppliers to rciers."

To completely contradict what Rocket just said, you can also get 2 more normal adaptors, like a BSPT to NPT and then NPT to AN or something. Do you have hose shop near you? My hose store local to me pretty much always has every odd adaptor I need, they've helped a ton with some screwy Honda stuff, most Honda stuff is BSPT.
